Resolutions protesting the dismissal of workers as a result of the stringent new economic policy of the Israel Government and the cost of living allowances agreement reached last week between the Histadrut, the Israeli labor federation, and the Israeli Manufacturers Association, were adopted here last night at the conclusion of the 12th convention of the Communist Party of Israel.
Shmuel Mikunis, who was re-elected general secretary of the party, told the closing session that an Israeli “popular democracy” would “cancel all territorial acquisitions Israel has made outside the borders decided by the United Nations.” He added that such a government “will support establishment of a democratic Arab state in Palestine and will recognize the right of Arab refugees to their homeland and to the restoration of property and land which has been taken from them.”
